migi and dali ended. unarguably one of the weirdest shows I've watched in a while, and I absolutely fucking loved it. It's crazy how they were able to squeeze in so much shit in 13 episodes and still pace it perfectly. It's sad to see it end, but I'm happy with the conclusion.

 rest in peace sensei sano nami 🕊️🙏🏻

Anime Talk - In Memory of Nami Sano

As we are nearing the end of the year, I would like to bring attention to one manga artist who is no longer in this world. I write this with the intention of paying her my respects. Anything that may seem offensive have no such intention behind it.

Nami Sano was born on April 17. 1987 and died August 5. 2023. She was 36 years old and passed from cancer. She left behind many works, two of which have been animated. The first one was Sakamoto Desu ga? (Haven't You Heard, I'm Sakamoto) which was animated in 2016. The other is Migi to Dali (Migi and Dali), which was animated in 2023, the last episode airing December 25. 2023.

I have watched both these anime and want to talk a little bit about both of them. I want to start with Sakamoto Desu ga?.

The story is about a cool high school student named Sakamoto. He transfers to one school and solves problems in the coolest way possible, making friends and enemies along the way. I didn't watch the series as it aired, but it's still been a while. I do remember enjoying it a lot. It is seinen and mainly a comedy series. I can't describe it very well, so I encourage you to watch it, or at least check it out on MAL. I gave it a 7/10 ranking. This is also called "good". I will admit, comedy is not what makes me rank a series highly. My favorite part about the series is probably the titular character, Sakamoto and all the character dynamics he is part of.

As for Migi to Dali, I have quite a lot to say. I had seen the series as part of the line-up of the Fall season 2023 and was considering to watch it. I originally decided against it because I simply had too much to watch on the airdate, Monday. Yet, after another student from my university recommended it to me and mentioned that the author had passed, I decided I should at least watch the first episode and see if I liked it. I definitely did. I couldn't look away. A middle-aged couple named the Sonoyamas, living in Origon village, decide to adopt one child, just one. They find the perfect son, a 13-year-old boy named Hitori. However, there is something the couple do not realize. Hitori is not Hitori. Hitori is two 13-year-old twin boys named Migi and Dali, who both play the role of Hitori. They often swap places and pull off little tricks to make sure that no one will ever catch onto this.

I will say no more on the story. As it is a comedy, mystery and suspense story, I would hate to ruin all the fun. The final episode is great and I ended up giving it a 9/10 score (great) on MAL. If you enjoy mysteries like I do, then I can't recommend this series enough. You can check it out on MAL if you feel like it.

Knowing that this is Sano-sensei's last completed work, you would suspect it ended around the time of her death, but this is not the case. Apparently the manga finished in November 2021, long before she was diagnosed. According to Wikipedia, she was also working on a new project around the time of her death, which further proves that Migi to Dali ended as she intended.

While it is possible to tell that the author is the same through the art style, the stories of Sakamoto Desu ga? and Migi to Dali are so different it is hard to believe they are written by the same author.

What I can conclude is that Nami Sano had a creative mind with many ideas for gimics and interesting stories. It is sad that the world has lost such a great, creative mind this year. My heart goes out to her loved ones, and I hope that none of them are left alone at this difficult time.

Just watched the end of Migi and Dali, the animation studio is so sweet for doing this ugh. this last episode was pretty emotional and satisfying, if I weren’t at work I would’ve cried

[dinersaturn]

That was such a nice way to end it. It's a shame cancer took her. Especially since I was excited about her next project.

Nami Sano, the creator of "Sakamoto desu ga" and "Migi & Dali" has unfortunately passed away on the 5th of August, 2023 due to cancer.

The Migi & Dali anime is set to air later this year.

Thank you, Nami Sano. Not only for sharing your wonderful work with us but also for bringing so much joy to so many people!

I need you all to read these misspellings from “migi to dali” because they stole my breath away. Absolutely stunning. As a former elementary teacher, I would’ve 100% passed them for creative genius bc I could’ve never thought of these.

Bingewatched an anime this afternoon so here's a quick scribble

[mangadore]

[mtdthoughts]

Today (8/5/24) marks the one-year anniversary of the passing of Nami Sano, the writer and illustrator of "Sakamoto Desu Ga" and "Migi to Dali", the story this blog is dedicated to. Though she left us too soon with a full life ahead of her, I find solace in knowing that her stories have touched the hearts of many, myself included, and that her memory will continue to be honored. Thus, regardless of whatever criticism I may have of the anime, I will be grateful to the producers and others for enshrining her legacy.

It's very clear how much love and care she poured into her work, and I firmly believe that despite her passing, her love will remain eternally in our hearts. Truly, she was God's gift to us, and I'm grateful that her stories have brought us all together.

Thank you Nami-sensei, may you rest in peace.

I just finished episode 8 of Migi and Dali and damn what a good anime so far! It’s a very interesting and accurate portrayal of childhood trauma and psychological behavior.

Nami Sano really knew her shit with this one.

Migi & Dali T1 de Nami Sano

Première masse critique manga reçu de Komikku, j'ai apprécié mais trouvé l'emballage excessif. Le dessin rétro de Nami Sano et l'intrigue du manga m'ont intrigué malgré mes réserves. Note : ★★★★.
